[Applause] [Music] this paint live tv i'm chrissy idaho painter and i'm out here getting ready to uh paint an accent wall at boise crossfit here in boise idaho and i've got some big cracks in the block wall and i'm caulking these cracks there's a lot of expansion and contraction in here and you don't want to use a cheap caulking because it's going to dry out and it's actually going to crack again and you're going to see these big cracks you want something that's going to bond really well and that's going to stretch really well i really like using a product from tower this is acrylic urethane elastomeric seaweed and this stuff has amazing adhesion and it expands up to 50 percent so it's going to um work great for filling these cracks right here you don't want to use anything cheap this is a lifetime warranty product right here i'm using it just white it's paintable it's not a silicone product so you can paint right over so once again this is a water-based product it cleans up with water at the end so you don't have to have anything like mineral spirits to clean up with it's a high performance class 25 sealant with 50 joint movement so it's really going to stretch and flex really good when it comes to you know joints and stuff like that and i use it for caulking into an exterior um on houses and stuff i use it for a lot of different things i use white most of the time but i do use the same product for caulking over my tape i will use clear so i got videos on that if you want to see how i caulk over tape to get laser straight lines this is a product once again from tower sealants and you know it ranges around 350 to four dollars a tube so one other caulking i want to show you um other than the um tower of last year thing elastomeric caulking i also use use when i'm doing block or stucco this is a really cool product that i really like also from tower and this is a category 5 elastomeric patching compound and it's got really good adhesion really good flexibility but it's textured it's sanded so it matches when you're caulking cracks in stucco or block if you're really concerned about having smooth spots in your stucco or your block you can use this product it's another great great product from tower and tower their products are really high-end products that don't have pops which are really annoying when you get an air bubble in your caulking tube because it will eventually pop and splatter caulking at the end but it also renders your dripless caulking guns not dripless until that air bubble comes out they are tower products and once again this is a tower sealant it's elastomeric category 5 patching compound that's textured or sanded so there you have it two great products um two caulking products that i really use inside and outside from tower if you've ever used this stuff let us know down in the comment section below we would love to hear what you have to say if you got a favorite caulking that works for you also just share that information down below and we'll give it a test out if you want us to review it we'll even review it for you leave a comment hit the subscribe button hit the notification bell that way you get notified every time we come out with a new video we'll see you next time out
